 Clear outlined approach that works! September 30, 1999
Chang Yuon (Emeryville, CA USA)

First, this book will supplement any High School Geometry textbook. The problems in the book range from easy to challenging (some just tedious) that will help and prepare students for tests and other standarized exams. What I really like about this book is that, it lays down all of the concepts in a very clear way without using too many words. The book should be used more as a supplement, a reminder, and a guide to help you solve problems. It's not the most colorful and fun book to read, but it is worth all your money if you are looking for a good outlined approach to the subject.
Easy and Fun October 20, 2005

"Geometry The Easy Way" really does live up to its name. I had tried "Geometry for Dummies" before but I was unable to realistically teach myself the basics with that book alone. (Maybe I needed Geometry for morons!" "Geometry the easy way" started out with simple concepts and slowly built upon those. The chapters were short and had numerous exercises that were very helpful. I actually discovered that geometry was fun-now that's a strange concept to grasp!I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to teach themselves the basics of geometry in a short amount of time.
Best High School Level Geometry Book Ever Written! March 16, 2005

To often people think they can obtain success in math/physics by skipping High School Geometry, but it just does not work.
This book is written so you can truely teach yourself the subject, and it does so without the holes (leaps in logic) that standard high school texts do so as to 'leave something for the teacher to teach'.
This is what should be the standard high school geometry text!
Superb plane geometry primer for children's self-study January 5, 1999
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
Easy to follow, logical, and methodical exposition of elementary classical plane geometry. Every term and concept is defined; therefore, it presupposes absolutely no prior knowledge (of either geometry or algebra). Yet, after four chapters it is possible for a child to knowledgeably explain Euclid's Fifth Postulate. The beauty of forms and patterns, the triumph of solving seemingly insoluble problems, the revelation of the power of logical thinking -- all serve to captivate my 9 year old daughter's attention. Most highly recommended for anyone who wishes to provide the means for a child to do his/her best original thinking. No cartoons, no shoot-em-up diversions, only the austere beaty of logic in an assimilable format for children. Every child in America should have the opportunity to go through this book with his/her parents. And every parent should have the oportunity of direct participation in the intellectual voyage of discovery of his/her child that this book affords.
Great approach to Geometry December 27, 1999

I enjoyed "Geometry The Easy Way", as it provided a clear approach to a complicated & tedious subject. In response to a previous comment, it would be extremely difficult to combine Geometry with a fantasy novel setting.
